About Nadia Rasheed
A Compassionate Counselling Approach
Welcome to Family Connection Counselling, where I prioritise your mental wellness, nurturing it with care and understanding. I provide a safe space for individuals to share their experiences, thoughts and feelings. At Family Connection Counselling, I empower you with compassionate, non-judgmental support tailored to your needs.
As a certified clinical counsellor, building trust and safety is my top priority—a cornerstone for effective therapy. My online counselling services, available for adults over 18, ensure you can access support from anywhere.
I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, like relentless waves crashing on a shore. Whether you’re seeking help with stress, depression, or anxiety, each session is customised to address your unique experiences.
I specialise in supporting a wide range of mental health issues, including:
- Stress Management: Together, we’ll identify stressors, enhance coping mechanisms, and build resilience.
- Depression: I’ll employ strategies to alleviate symptoms and improve your mood and daily functioning.
- Anxiety: Let’s utilise techniques to diminish anxiety, foster calmness, and regain a sense of control.
- Grief and Loss: I provide support in navigating the multifaceted emotions associated with loss.
- Trauma Recovery: I offer a secure environment for trauma processing and recovery.
- Suicidal Ideation: I’ll deliver vital support and interventions for safety while uncovering underlying issues.
- Family Domestic Violence (FDV): I can assist you in understanding and breaking free from abuse cycles, focusing on safety and healing.
- Lifes Transitions: I help with major life changes, like going through menopause or handling a new diagnosis like ADHD, ASD, or AuDHD.
Evidence-Based and Compassionate Approaches
My strengths-based and trauma-informed approach applies evidence-based theories such as Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), Strength-Based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), and more. Each approach is carefully chosen to fit your personal journey and to facilitate healing and personal growth. I am registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA Reg.Clinical 30746) and adhere to their requirements, standards and guidelines to ensure a safe, client-focused experience.
My approach is simple: Counselling helps you discover hidden strengths that may have been hidden by life’s experiences. Think of counselling as a path to a stronger, more fulfilling future. Everyone can gain from having guidance in navigating life’s complexities.
“Thank you so much for your support.
Talking to you was the best thing I’ve ever done.
I am excited to meet you again”
